IWR6843ISK-ODS: idle mode sequence

Part Number: IWR6843ISK-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

Dear support team,

Now we would like to test new sequence between idle mode and gesture mode by gesture recognition demo on industrial toolbox.

  idle mode : to monitor approaching human to ODS board with low duty by modifying frameCfg

  normal mode : to detect gesture with normal duty

Is it possible to modify frameCfg by IWR6843 itself, without external MCU ?

Or, shall we use an external MCU to control IWR6843 by CLI command ?

Best regards,

Taka

  •  Hello ,

    Ti's mmwave devices which have built in  post processing cores  are intended to program the RF Front end (Radar SubSystem ) via the available applications cores:

    For our demo examples  (Like OOB demo and others demo available as Labs in Industrial Toolbox )  we provide uart as an easy way for users to configure and modify the device  settings - eventually these setting are sent to the  Radar Subssytem via the available application cores on the device.  By doing changes to the code on the post processing application core a new configuration can be sent to the Radar Subsystem for a new Chirp setting.

    Please look at the Link layers in the SDK to  see how the  application/post processing cores interact with RadarSubsytem.

    Relevant links:

    2.2 TI Industrial mmWave Sensors Device Overview  - see RadarSS and MasterSS core slides

    2.5 mmWave Radar Programming Model  -- see the link layers

    SDK documentation for link layers, Api layers

    SDK doxygen for link layers under  SDk installation ( typically file:///C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_04_00_03/packages/ti/control/mmwavelink/docs/doxygen/html/index.html )

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you,

    Vaibhav
